HALLIBURTON RESPONDS TO FALSE STATEMENTS
DALLAS, Texas - Wednesday Citizensworks put out a false and misleading statement
regarding Halliburton's payments of federal corporate income taxes from
1996-2000. Halliburton has the highest tax compliance practices and standards,
and above all else - a commitment to ethics.
We want to publicly request this group to stop making political and false
statements that are not based on facts.
Here are the facts.
Our non-U.S. subsidiaries were formed to manage our business operations
outside the United States and for no other reason. Halliburton recorded a total
current provision for federal income taxes for the following years:
- - 2000 $16 million on continuing operations, plus an additional $141 million
for the sale of our interest in Dresser-Rand and a portion of the $60 million
worldwide taxes attributable to discontinued operations.
- - 1999 $9 million net provision because we had a $85 million tax benefit
resulting from a loss on continuing operations, reduced by $94 million
provision for tax on the sale of our interest in Ingersoll-Dresser Pump.
- - 1998 $302 million.
- - 1997 $167 million, includes Halliburton and Dresser Industries pre-merger
amount.
- - 1996 $82 million, includes Halliburton and Dresser Industries pre-merger
amount.
Halliburton, founded in 1919, is one of the world's largest providers of
